Buff fingers? (finger strength thread)

Sign in to disble this ad
!!


Latly I have been doing and have been interested in tapping. But the problem is I just cant get a good loud sound. See I know how to play this here riff YouTube - Broadcast Yourself. my tapping fingers ( index and middle ) let loose a very loud and bright sound while my left hand does no make a bright sound so it sound lop sided.

My technique is the same as his same positioning same fingers hit the same frets ect ect. So the question is.. how do you biuld finger strength? Cause mine just seem line noddles with a whole bunch ov calluses on the ends

I think it is probably a question of technique and agility rather than strength. If you can fret a note and it sounds clear, then that is all the strength you require.

First point is the link leads only to the youtube home page...no video to view of what you talk about.

Second point is there is no detail of what equipment you are using, how long you have been playing, or how long you have being doing tapping. A bit more info always helps for a good response.
